Diamonds & Gasoline

Standard country music. Nothing too special

I like this country, honky-tonk and blue grass album. It is well produced, but does not sound like a modern commercial country album.

Red dirt, honky-tonk, Americana, neotraditional country, country rock, roots rock. Ni fu ni fa.

Always enjoy a good red dirt Americana style country album. I believe this type of music is the closest to the great folk lyrics that’s Dylan would write. Now they’re not that special but they are good. This band is like a good in between of Isbell and Sturgill Simpson. There’s plenty of small town country themes that provide many enjoyable songs on this one that’s worth revisiting. 7.3/10

Fine pop country. Suprising to see play counts in the tens of millions for an artist I’ve never heard of. Goes to show how self-sufficient the country ecosystem is

Diamonds & Gasoline is such a new addition to the submissions list that there are no reviews for it on site :D and I don't mind that it's been added you know, it's modern country, nothing remarkable or that hasn't been done before but has better production and an energy going through it that keep it from falling into the same trap as a load of middling country, where it's just slow and meandering towards nowhere in particular. Reading about it, the band themselves don't seem to like it as a representation of who they wanted to be/became, but this is fine easy listening. High 2/5, doesn't get a 3 because that's when I start to classify something as actually good, this is easy background listening.

Way too country for me

Run of the mill glossy country stuff. Chord progressions that could be predicted a mile away, standard guitar and fiddle stuff. No rough edges, and that twangy country vocal style. Americans sure love this shit. I don't.
